under any sane copyright system, sampling would be considered a transformative work

under existing copyright systems, what is considered fair use is determined by how many attorneys you can afford

I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who didn't enjoy Fallout 4. As exploring Boston, taking your time and immersing yourself, is truly an enjoyable experience.

:bounce:




Sorry, can't really IMMERSE myself into a game that tells you that you're a father on the lookout for his missing son. The fact that your character is that prebaked from the beginning on is an absolute immersion killer. But I am glad that you enjoyed Borderlands 4.

Bethesda's stories usually suck ass. I was not impressed by Fallout 3 and Oblivion. Playing by ignoring the plot is usually the way to go, especially since unlike GTA games where it takes 50 main quests to unlock the weapon shop, you unlock everything in Fallout games at the beginning
This isn't to excuse the games for being shit, more to offer perspective on how it's typically played

PLAGIARISM/SAMPLING IS OKAY WHEN DONE RIGHT, and that's what Mark Morgan was asked to do and delivered on.

What they did was very much illegal and they could have been sued (as early hip hop artists were when they sampled without permission). His defense is that they gave him an unlabeled cd (also illegal) so he thought it was public domain music. :lol:
i don't care about the law, i'm talking about the ideological level of it. some of the best shit ever made in this world was more or less a blatant ripoff of something else, and the american legal system is so fucked that you can sue anyone over anything. doesn't really mean anything, and obviously nothing came of that

Xcept there is nothing in the whole celebration notion hinting or stating they (as in Bethesda) take credit for F1,2. They celebrate Fallout world, period
